Ruling Holds Individual Bet Not a Crime at Racetrack
Yesterday Court of Special Sessions ruled that taking a single wager does not constitute a crime. Charles Mahoney, manager of the Hoffman House cafe, was discharged after being arrested July 10 on a bet placed with Nelson Herzog for a horse racing at Brighton Beach. The decision, written by Justice Hoyt, follows Justice Gaynor’s ruling that an ordinary bet is not a crime and narrows the case to whether Mahoney engaged in bookmaking or poolselling. The ruling shocks bookmakers and judges, with District Attorney Jerome expressing disappointment at the discharge.
